Surgeons for the first time performed the spondylitis surgery on two patients at a spine camp organised at the Bharat Aluminium Company ltd (BAlCO) Hospital in Korba.
Neurosurgeon Dr Rajeev Sahu, orthopaedic surgeon of Bharat Aluminium Company ltd (BAlCO) Hospital Dr Satadal Nath operated on two patients who were suffering from prolapsed spinal disc problems. The surgeons successfully restored the slipped l-4 and l-5 disk of the spine to normal function.
The surgery was so complicated that the surgeons had to drill the disk bones. About 40 patients had registered at the camp and the doctors provided them necessary consultations. The patients who were suffering from back and shoulder pains were also provided necessary medical advice. They were provided with medicines. The doctors also taught them some exercises and yogic postures practicing which they can get relief.
